Growth and Decay of Lake Ice in the Vicinity of Schefferville (Knob Lake), Quebec

Reports an investigation into the relative proportions and rates of growth and decay of white ice (snow ice) and black ice on lakes in this area. The mode of formation and conditions of weather, snow cover, prevalence of slush, etc favoring white ice growth are detailed, with graphs. The ice-buildin...
